Hello,
I've searched through a few pages of the forum but wasn't able to find answers to my questions, I'm new on here so please forgive me If i've missed something.
First off I recently bought a 2014 Ram 2500 CTD. It came factory filled with Valvoline 5w40.
I live in Manitoba, Canada and for the winters it gets very cold. Should I be staying with the 5w40 or should I be running a 15w40? Or switching winter/summer?
The majority of my driving is fairly short trips, and the towing I do is not very heavy, 10k at most. I'm thinking about using either Rotella T6 or Amsoil synthetic blend but upon reading a few threads on here, do I even need to be running synthetic?
The manual says 15k or 6month oil changes with a synthetic oil, but i'd be hard pressed to make 8k in 6 months with my driving habits.
Anyone have any suggestions on what type of oil I should use? Would rotella tripple t be sufficient? What are peoples thoughts on the amsoil OE or blend?
Thanks in advance!
